“…We also used XPS to further evaluate the chemical structure and identify the elemental composition of silk nanofibers and dye-adsorbed silk nanofibers. Figure b shows that the peaks at 283.6, 397.7, and 529.6 eV indicate the presence of C 1s, N 1s, and O 1s respectively, which are well agreed by reported silk nanofibers. , Briefly, we also deconvoluted C 1s, N 1s, and O 1s peaks to completely recognize the elemental alignment of silk nanofibers before and after intersection with dye (acid blue 117). In this context, Supporting Information Figure 3a reveals that the peak of 383.6 eV has three locations for carbon atoms, suggesting the presence of carbon atoms in the arrangement of C bonds, CC at 383.6 eV, CH 2 –NH at 285.7 eV, and OC–N at 286.6 eV, respectively.…”
In
recent years, adsorption-based membranes have been widely investigated
to remove and separate textile pollutants. However, cyclic adsorption–desorption
to reuse a single adsorbent and clear scientific evidence for the
adsorption–desorption mechanism remains challenging. Herein,
silk nanofibers were used to assess the adsorption potential for the
typical anionic dyes from an aqueous medium, and they show great potential
toward the removal of acid dyes from the aqueous solution with an
adsorption rate of ∼98% in a 1 min interaction. Further, we
measured the filtration proficiency of a silk nanofiber membrane in
order to propose a continuous mechanism for the removal of acid blue
dye, and a complete rejection was observed with a maximum permeability
rate of ∼360 ± 5 L·m–2·h–1. The Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and
X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy studies demonstrate that this fast
adsorption occurs due to multiple interactions between the dye molecule
and the adsorbent substrate. The as-prepared material also shows remarkable
results in desorption. A 50-time cycle exhibits complete adsorption
and desorption ability, which not only facilitates high removal aptitude
but also produces less solid waste than other conventional adsorbents.
Additionally, fluorescent 2-bromo-2-methyl-propionic acid (abbreviated
as EtOxPY)-silk nanofibers can facilitate to illustrate a clear adsorption
and desorption mechanism. Therefore, the above-prescribed results
make electrospun silk nanofibers a suitable choice for removing anionic
dyes in real-time applications.

“…The first weight loss at 100–250°C was related to the volatilization of some free water and low boiling point compounds. The second weight loss at 250–550°C originated from the decomposition and that weight loss was caused by the destruction of the regenerated silk fibroin molecular side chain, while the final weight loss at 550–700°C belonged to the destruction of the regenerated silk fibroin molecular main chain 34 …”
Rotator cuff injury is the most common muscle injury in bone surgery and there was still enormously challenging to completely repair it. Disturbed by mechanical stability and biocompatibility, most implants have failed to relieve symptoms and prevent the development of osteoarthritis. Herein, we have firstly fabricated novel electrospinned nanofiber membranes by integrating the excellent mechanical properties of polyurethane (PU), the good biocompatibility of silk fibroin with the osteogenesis properties of bioactive glass (PSB). The obtained results have exhibited that the PSB nanofiber film possessed excellent mechanical properties with the tensile stress have reached 14.6 MPa and the tensile strain reached 70%, which had extremely remedied the properties of pure silk film (3.8 MPa and the tensile strain 7.9%). Especially, PSB has shown superior hydrophilicity (WCA) than silk (WCA) and PU (WCA) groups.Furthermore, we have endowed the PSB with osteogenesis by doping bioactive glass (BG) in it. The PSB film can long-term release functional ions (Si and B ions) that benefit bone tissue repair, and the CCK-8 and ALP results have also confirmed the excellent biocompatibility and osteogenesis of PSB. Hence, the novel PSB film may provide a new treatment strategy for repairing rotator cuff injury.
“…42 In the fitting curve of N 1s, there are mainly 400.6 eV, 398.8 eV and 399.5 eV peaks assigned to -NH 3 + , -NH 2 and -NH-, respectively. 43 The C 1s spectrum of CT4 contained all the characteristic peaks on CNFs and MWCNTs, and the peaks were all shifted to the left, indicating enhanced bonding energy. This was related to the previous hydrogen bonding between CNF and MWCNTs (Fig.…”
